Psalms 56

1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresses me,

Pou direktè koral la. Yon powèm David lè Filisten yo te sezi li Gath. Chante pa melodi “Toutrèl San Chanson Nan Peyi Lwen An” Fè m gras, O Bondye, paske lòm fin foule m anba pye; Nan goumen tout lajounen, li vin oprime mwen.

2 My enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,

Lènmi m yo vle vale m tout lajounen. Yo anpil! Tout (sila) ki goumen ak ògèy kont mwen yo.

3 [In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.

Lè mwen pè, mwen va mete konfyans nan Ou.

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I do not fear what flesh does to me.

Nan Bondye, mwen fè lwanj pawòl Li! Nan Bondye, mwen te mete konfyans mwen. Mwen p ap pè. Kisa lòm ka fè m?

5 All the day they wrest my words, All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,

Tout lajounen, yo tòde pawòl mwen yo. Tout panse yo kont mwen se pou mal.

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Yo atake, yo kache, yo veye pa mwen yo. Y ap tann pou rache lavi m.

7 They escape by iniquity, In anger put down the peoples, O God.

Akoz mechanste sa a, jete yo deyò. Nan kòlè Ou, fè desann moun sa yo, O Bondye!

8 You have counted my wandering, You place my tear in Your bottle, Are they not in Your scroll?

Ou te byen konte tout egare mwen fè. Mete tout gout dlo ki sòti nan zye m yo nan boutèy Ou. Èske yo tout pa ekri nan liv Ou a?

9 Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

Konsa, lènmi mwen yo va vire fè bak nan jou ke m rele a. Men sa m byen konnen: Bondye pou mwen.

10 In God I praise the word, In YHWH I praise the word.

Nan Bondye, ma louwe pawòl li. Nan SENYÈ a, ma louwe pawòl li.

11 In God I trusted, I do not fear what man does to me,

Nan Bondye, mwen te mete konfyans mwen. Mwen p ap pè. Kisa lòm ka fè m?

12 On me, O God, [are] Your vows, I repay thank-offerings to You.

Ve Ou yo mare sou mwen, O Bondye. Mwen va rann ofrann remèsiman a Ou menm.

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!

Paske Ou te delivre nanm mwen soti nan lanmò. Ou te anpeche pye mwen glise tonbe, pou m ta kab mache devan Bondye nan limyè a moun vivan yo.
